Help your struggling language learners succeed
Sign up to join Texthelp Product Manager, Kathleen Colburn for a live webinar exploring features of Read&Write and Co:Writer that can help your ELL students succeed.
In this webinar
Our Product Manager, Kathleen Colburn, will walk you through how you can implement simple technology tools to help support your ELLs, making them feel connected and as if they belong in every classroom.
Kathleen will cover features in both Read+Write as well as Co:Writer that will help students gain independence by helping them succeed in:

We’ll also share with you our guide to teaching language learners in Tier I.
This guide offers simple strategies and resources to help educators, administrators, and MTSS teams create learning environments where ELLs:
- Feel a greater sense of safety, belonging, and connection.
- Can gain cultural context and understanding from instruction.
- Are able to add richness and value to their communities.
